New addition helps Pens edge B-Sens

For the second consecutive game Rob Schremp tallied multiple points, this time recording a pair of goals and an assist as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defeated visiting Binghamton Seantors, 3-2, on Wednesday night.

The Penguins also welcomed newly acquired Robert Nilsson with open arms as he recorded assists on all three goals. Nilsson was assigned to Wilkes-Barre by the parent Edmonton Oilers after being acquired from the New York Islanders in Tuesday’s Ryan Smyth trade.

Andrew Penner stopped 23 of 25 shots on the night for his second straight win.

The win improves the Penguins’ record to 36-15-2-4, and at 78 points, the Pens sit in third place in the East Division, with two games in hand on second-place Hershey (82 pts.) and four games in hand on first-place Norfolk (83 pts.).

Jonathan Filewich also added a goal and an assist for the Penguins, who have won three straight games — all against the Senators.

Cory Pecker scored both goals on the night in a losing effort for Binghamton.

LOWELL 2, HARTFORD 1Ryan Murphy scored what proved to be the game-winning goal with 14:14 left in the second period as the Lowell Devils defeated Hartford on the road by the score of 2-1.

With the win, Lowell extended its winning streak to three games, while ending Hartford’s string of six consecutive victories.

Jordan Parise stopped 17 of 18 shots for Lowell, which returns home to play its next three games.

Rod Pelley tallied the first goal of the night and Nicklas Bergfors added a pair of assists for the Devils, who kept pace with Worcester for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Atlantic Division.

WORCESTER 6, SPRINGFIELD 2Mathieu Darche scored a pair of goals and added an assist for Worcester as the Sharks won their third straight game by defeating the Springfield Falcons 6-2 at the DCU Center.
